'Natalee Holloway'

Natalee Holloway, the beautiful girl who disappeared during a high-school graduation trip in Aruba, was celebrated on Lifetime Movie Networks this past Sunday. According to ratings, her story continues to touch the public.

An average 3.2 million viewers tuned in to "Natalee Holloway," making it the highest-rated movie in the network’s 11-year history. Nearly a third (1.4 million) who watched the tele-pic were women between the ages of 18 and 49. The movie was based on mother Beth Holloway’s book, Loving Natalee: A Mother’s Testament of Hope and Faith. Tracy Pollan, wife of actor Michael J. Fox, played Beth.

Holloway graduated from Mountain Brook High School in Alabama on May 24, 2005. To celebrate, two days later she and 124 classmates flew to Aruba. She was last seen by her classmates leaving a night club around 1:30 AM and the search for the young girl became an international effort and heartfelt mystery. The disappearance of Holloway, who planned to attend University of Alabama in the fall, brought to light the dangers of teenagers and young adults attending Spring Break vacations.

A special news feature about Natalee Holloway’s disappearance is available on Lifetime and below:

Yes, the Irena Sendler story was magnificent. So many unsung heroes during the Holocaust.

I could not bring myself to watch it. Not because I dont feel for the family. Because I think lifetime did a cheezy job with this one? Also the media was all over this day and night. I became numb to the story.

I still care deeply about this story. But after a certain point it began to feel like exploitation. I did not watch either.

Did you know Jorans father was best friends with the Police Commissioner and worked closely with the Judges,Prosecuters and other Govt officials who covered up this case? Did you know Joran had 3 girls who came forward before natalee ever arrived in Aruba..Accusing him of drugging and assaulting them? If you want to learn the true shocking details blogsfornatalee has the true facts of Joran and the other suspects. Dont believe the lies listed below.

http://noevidenceofacrime.com IS another reason why you should be boycotting Aruba. Aruba has long been controlled by the Mob and websites like that are perfect examples of very sinsiter people making money off of a teenagers murder.

By observer observer on 04/22/2009 2:18 pm ———————————————————————————— What a truly nasty thing to post when one has absolutely no clue what they are speaking about. The website http://noevidenceofacrime.com is a truly free on line book site that is not getting any fee for anyone that reads the book. Why would someone lie about that. The vile and hateful things that poster Observer has said about different people involved in this case should actually be investigated by the authorities, right down to harassing totally innocent people that have nothing to do with this case at all. Blogs for Natalee is a good site, in spite of a few posters, like Observer that are very inappropriate with their stalking and posting personal information. But the true site to read all the news, not message board posters views, but the articles and videos from day one to present is at: http://noevidenceofacrime.com Jan
